Check how tight the belt is that spins the alternator, if its too loose it could cause this issue.

Just fixed the same issue on my mom's car that way.

Drawing power from the floor-?

"...get dimmer when I slow down"

Charge then load test the battery. How old is it?

sounds like possible battery,,
and definetly new negative ground straps and main batt neg cable
probably due for a pos. batt cable too,,our cars are getting old and wires gain resistance

one ziner reported broken ground strap from frame to engine!
acura sells a ground wire kit for 20 bucks or make your own small strap pieces
